Best of Boston

A family-run operation for nearly 80 years, Designer Bath is a labor of love, and it shows. The showroom features an abundant assortment of high-end fixtures and accessories for kitchens and bathrooms, though you’ll never feel overwhelmed when perusing the options. That’s thanks to visually appealing displays, including several working ones — in one spot, it’s possible to turn on kitchen faucets to evaluate water pressure — and walls of shower heads that allow you to compare models side by side.
